Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

The following kinds of comments/usage are generally not allowed:

"Give me rep!"
"I'll rep you, you rep me"
"User XYZ is almost bold"
"Let's make User XYZ bold"
"Let's get User XYZ to X number of reps"

no one in the funny farm would ever do anything like that Smilie

I'd love to put it on eBay but don't have a clue how to do that.
Setting up an ebay seller account is pretty easy. Or, if you don't want to do that, I have a seller account and I could list it for you. There would be a final auction value fee & a PayPal fee deducted, but then the rest would be net profit for you.

Okay, so remember how I "won" a TV but then they said "Ooops" and retracted the notice? Well, they sent me a consolation prize:

Yuppers, folks, one of the most butt ugly purses I've ever seen. It's a green-tinged gold colored aligator/snake skin item -- sent FedEx. My first thought was "OMG, they have to be joking." but then, inside the purse, was a soft storage bag, so I said to moi-meme, "Hmmm. That looks kind of expensive." Went on-line, and the stupid thing retails for like $100. OMGOMG

They must have gotten it free for advertising or something. What a waste ! ! I doubt that even my sister will be able to think of anyone to foist this off on.
How many channels does it get? LOL. We tried. They must have got a ton of emails from the FF'ers. It is kinda ugly but someone will love it.

You must have at Least 50 posts for your reps to count

Your reps start at 1 point

You get an additional point once you get to 500 reps

You get an additional point once you get 1000 reps

You get an additional point once you make 10,000 posts

You get an additional point for every year you're an SD member

The most rep points you can have is 4

If your reps are worth more than one you can't choose how many points to give, you must give the full amount.

ThanksSmilie

That's the whole problem. I cannot imagine ANYONE buying that grotesque thing on Craigslist or eBay. It's worse in real life, honestly. It's like fake gold jewelry that has turned. I don't know how else to describe it.

OMG UGLY UGLY UGLY. OMG I'd send it back but don't want to pay the postage.

I think what upsets me is that it's like a slap in the face. "No TV, but here's a freebie someone found in the back of her closet." Like, why bother???? Just say "sorry about the error" and move on. I don't know. It's just so offensive. Not even something I'd CONSIDER re-gifting, that's how bad it is. Oh well, time I moved on. nod

Yeah, I know about those rules too. Which is why I don't post those kinds of comments.

Before you give it to Goodwill, try it on Ebay! Go for $20 minimum bid and see where it goes. If it doesn't, then go to Goodwill. I know threre are several people on here with ebay accounts who would help you. If I did, I would!

Wisari made it bold. Do you have to log off and back on to show you are bold?
